International correspondent Jonathan Miller, a news reporter of Channel News 4, one of the leading news agency in Europe asked President Rody Duterte an intriguing question, but the President answered his questions brilliantly.

Jonathan Miller asked the President by stating "Mr. President, you did raise earlier the comparison with Latin America, and narco states. The narco states of Latin America where as you know associated with the term "death squads" too. And in five months since you became President, more people have actually been killed than died during the nine years of the Marcos dictatorship which we've also been talking about."

Pres. Rody replied brilliantly by stating that he also could ask the same question why is America losing 40,000 lives [from] drug-related cases.

The Philippine President added further by saying that "What makes the Philippines different from America, may I ask you?

Jonathan Miller responded by saying that "With respect it is not sanctined by the [US] President, sir."

President Duterte then agreed that "Yes, it is not."

Pres. Duterte also gives more follow up questions by stating that why is America not a member of the International Criminal Court (ICC).

The former mayor of Davao City ended his statement by stating the following strong words to the media and those people who attended the press conference:

"You do not do that to me. When you're a hypocrite to me. You are a hypocrite. By what standard or language do we use."

"So, I would say, do not talk about it, the lives of my people, my own citizens. You have destroyed countries and deprived their sovereignty, so where is the moral basis? Tell me?"

"What is the moral basis of so many things that America did in the name of human rights?"
